Ya’alon: Palestinians See Destruction of Jews as Realistic Possibility

Speaking at an event to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Monday: “In the Palestinian Authority, whose leadership presents itself as one that is striving to reach an agreement with us, the brutal, insufferable incitement against the State of Israel and the Jewish people continues.”

“This incitement is manifest in the education system and the media, where the hatred and poison ought to be an affront to any human. It is creating another generation of Palestinian children who are taught to look at the expulsion and destruction of the Jews as a realistic possibility instead of educating them toward a culture of peace and co-existence alongside Israel.”
